Goodyear Tire Recalls. A list of Goodyear tire recalls that have occured over the past few years.

AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 7 -- Despite all the recent hoopla about keeping your tires inflated, new research shows that most drivers are checking their tire pressures -- without knowing the correct inflation level.

According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, 51 percent of American drivers check their own tire pressure. Unfortunately, 48 percent of those surveyed consult the tire sidewall, which indicates maximum tire pressure.

Bill Egan, Goodyear chief engineer of advanced product design, said the correct tire inflation isn't a multiple-choice answer. "We stress the importance of proper tire inflation without specifying the correct level," Egan said.

Part of the problem, Egan said, is that the answer varies with application and the load to be carried.

Tire inflation to tires is like oil to a vehicle's engine; the correct inflation determines the tire's load-carrying capacity for optimal tire deflection, thus maximizing handling, treadwear and ride as well as reducing rolling resistance and ensuring durability by reducing the stress-strain level that allows the tire to run cooler, Egan said...
